Okitenugui Kabuto Samurai Helmet Shaped as a Head Towel Saika, Early Edo Period
Located in Milano, IT
Okitenugui kabuto
Samurai helmet shaped as a head towel
Saika, early Edo period, 17th century
The Haruta armorers who moved to Kii province in the early 17th century, took the name from the village where they worked, Saika, near Wakayama, possibly on request of the local daimyo, Asano Yukinaga, a great armour amateur. Specialised in the construction of plate helmets, they produced mainly two typologies of kabuto: one with six plates covered with a chrysanthemum-shaped plate on top and one shaped as a “head towel”, called okitenugui. The latter type of kabuto employs very heavy plates crafted in a curved manner and was improved in order to make it resistant to firearms.
This okitenugui kabuto features some distinctive decorations of the Haruta school, including the application of cut-out iron elements, including eyebrows, washers and lozenge-shaped decorations on the sides. The ring on the top, however, is a rare feature and could be used to hold a small war flag.

Edo Period Samurai Suit Of Armor
Located in New Orleans, LA
This complete samurai okegawa dou gusoku suit of armor dating to the late 18th century is a remarkable rarity and remains in pristine condition. One of the most exceptional sets of Edo Period armor ever to grace the market, this armor would protect an esteemed warrior from head to toe.
This suit was made for a high-ranking official of the Kyogoku clan, a house of samurai in Japan. Though today the word samurai is often thought of interchangeably with warrior, it traditionally referred to a specific class of military nobility in Japan. From the late 12th century until the late 1860s when the Meiji era began, the samurai were the ruling military class, ranking directly beneath the emperor.
Esteemed Edo-period armorer Yamashiro Kuni Fujiwara Kanehisa created this extraordinary set for a noble samurai, incorporating elaborate details and opulent materials, appropriately highlighting the prestige of the armor’s owner. The set includes all of the traditional armor needed for a samurai warrior, including an elaborate helmet bearing the signature of the armorer.

Hon-Kozane Ni-Mai Do Tosei Gusoku
Samurai armor bearing the kamon of the Toyama family
Edo Period, 18th century
Hand-written origami by Prof. Yamagami Hachiro (1902-1980), dated 31 March 1964.
Due to its high production cost, golden armor was infrequent during the Edo period. The hon-kozane (true scale) construction for the cuirass, the engraved gilt brass borders, and the haidate (thigh guard) decorated with a floral scroll motif painted with black lacquer over gold all indicate that this suit belonged to a samurai of a wealthy clan. The armor also features a nodowa, an additional protection for neck and throat that is exclusive to high-rank armor. The helmet is similarly of excellent quality: a 32-plate zaboshi kabuto with 13 rivets per plate and a chrysanthemum-shaped washer on each rivet.
The broad sode (shoulder guards) and fukigaeshi (helmet turns-back), the visor’s shape, the use of stenciled leather, and the plate construction of the haidate are all distinctive of revival armor, which was being produced in Japan beginning in the early eighteen century...
